Abstract

The organic food industry is of vital importance to Quebec’s economy. In 2023, its contribution to the economy was estimated at over 6 per cent of gross domestic product and 12 per cent of total employment. Bio-food exports reached a record high of 12 billion dollars in 2023. These international activities generate significant benefits for Quebec and for the businesses involved. Preparation for exporting is crucial to avoiding pitfalls that could prove fatal for certain businesses, particularly SMEs. In a CIRANO study (St-Pierre et al., 2024), the authors examine the financial challenges that can prove critical at any stage of the export process and propose a planning tool. L’industrie bioalimentaire revêt une importance capitale dans l’économie québécoise. En 2023, sa contribution à l’économie était estimée à plus de 6 % du produit intérieur brut et 12 % de l’ensemble des emplois. Les exportations bioalimentaires ont atteint un record de 12 milliards de dollars en 2023. Ces activités à l’international génèrent des retombées importantes pour le Québec et pour les entreprises qui y sont engagées. La préparation à l'exportation est cruciale pour éviter des embûches qui pourraient s’avérer fatales pour certaines entreprises et particulièrement les PME. Dans une étude CIRANO (St-Pierre et al., 2024), les auteurs examinent les enjeux financiers qui peuvent se révéler critiques à tout moment du processus d’exportation et propose un outil d’aide à la planification.
